Call me an English language purist, but isn't doing ANYTHING based solely on race pretty much the definition of racism?
In this particular sense, racism doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing.
Of course, I also feel like the only person in the world disgusted by the use of the word "homophobia" being used to describe people who perform hate crimes on gays. "Phobia" does NOT mean hate, it means an irrational fear. And while sometimes the two coincide, sometimes these people just plain hate. But I guess it's just easier to lump them all together into this category of being "homophobic" even when there's no fear involved whatsoever.

I'm a black chick and I'm only attracted to white dudes (Irish the most) and I've been called a racist by other blacks (males). It's mostly the 'gangbangers' that get all up tight about it, but I don't care, I like white dudes only. As a black dude (at least that's what it says on my license), I'm cool with it. People should date who they want to, as long as it is legal. You like white guys, and lately I've had a thing for Latinas and Asians. Not that there are a lot of those in this area, but a man can dream.

Call me an English language purist, but isn't doing ANYTHING based solely on race pretty much the definition of racism? Not quiet. From dictionary.com - 1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others. 2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination. 3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races. --- Being attracted to your own race isn't racism, it's.....ah bugger, I forgot the word; one of those "--centric" ones. It's where you prefer, but do not discriminate in a negative way. There's definitely a difference.

I find myself attracted to people that don't look like me. Pale white guys FTW. But to be honest, I think it has a lot to do with what you're exposed to. When I was younger and around less black guys, I couldn't imagine myself attracted to them. Let's just say that's changed. Also, I haven't been exposed to many Asian men in my life, so I just don't find myself being attracted to any.

I agree, it doesn't make you racist. From what I've gathered, a lot of people are only attracted to their own race. Then there's others who are only attracted to another. As for me... I like black chicks, white chicks, middle of the night chicks I like dark chicks, light chicks, chicks who like to fight chicks ...so long as they don't whip out dongs that are bigger than mine. So if her dong is smaller than yours it's fine? Interesting.

Only if you are a white person bent on trying to prove how non-racist you are. But if not that, then no. My personal opinion is that race is a lot more complicated than just skin color, and that it also harbors ethnic, cultural and religious identies that should be taken into consideration when discussing compatibility. I mean, to think of other races as being no different than white people is also somewhat ignorant, and to treat other races as little more than object of your fetish (This means you, Sinogynephiles ) would be treating people as objects. People should always be ends, not means. So as usual, Morbo demands better introspection!

My theory is that many people are attracted to other races however only to the hotter examples. Within their own race they will "settle" for less.

according to AVENUE Q.. we're all a little bit racist sometimes...lol..sorry that made me laugh but in all seriousness..I am not racist or prejudiced because if i was I would be following the footsteps of a society of ignorant people( not anyone here on the boards) and i just don't roll that way.. i was taught growing up to appreciate everyone no matter race creed or sexuality and i have had friends who are black, white, hispanic, gay and straight....so its useless to be racist..

It all depends on how you go about saying it, like Madison said earlier.
I mean, I'm black and have a tendency to date white girls, not that I don't like dating black girls or Latina girls. I mean, it just sort of happens like that. Now if I dated solely white girls and said that the reason why I didn't date black or latina girls was because "they're too ghetto" or "they're too loud" then that sure as hell is a racist position.
So I hope that answers that for you.

I wouldn't say racist. To me it's the same thing as not finding blonde hair attractive. Or not liking guys with beards. It's about what you like the look of. It would be like hating me because I don't like yellow cars

Simple answer:No
I heard this on Youtube and I believe it whole heartedly. There's nothing wrong with having a preferences. There is a problem when you make it clear that anyone outside the preference is doody butt ugly.
Honestly, the white chicks love gets to me because I'm a medium skinned black girl and I like white guys. Knowing a guy you're digging doesn't dig you because you're not light enough is quite disheartening.

Edit:Kitty, you're missing out there are some cute ass Asians running around. My cousin had the best sex in her life with an Asian man.
